WEEKEND UPDATE:

May 9-11, 2008

Earl Marriott's 9th Annual Dry Grad Event - PLANT & MANURE SALE Saturday 9 A.M. - 3 P.M. Earl Marriott Secondary 15751-16th Avenue

*************

Saturday May 10, 2008, is the one year anniversary of the date when Nav Canada imposed their new "GRIZZ" STAR flight path for YVR above communities around Boundary Bay.

This unilateral closed-door decision by a government created corporate monopoly brought commercial jet airliners and their resulting noise pollution to neighbourhoods in Delta, Surrey and White Rock and the public marine beaches of Tsawwassen and the south Surrey/White Rock peninsula.

To mark this infamous day, concerned residents and area politicians from the affected communities are being invited to meet on the shores of Crescent Beach at 12 o'clock noon to observe a minute of silence to represent the peace and quiet that has been missing for the past year because of the constant roar from passing jet aircraft

The meeting place will be at the end of Beecher Street in Crescent Beach, Surrey at the main entrance to the shoreline between Raff's restaurant and the Beecher Place Community Centre. There is a scrubby pine tree in the middle of a square of lawn in this area where interested folks and invited dignitaries can assemble.
